About Us
Founded by Doug and Jill Flament in the heart of Montana, Saturday Night Golden Retrievers recently moved to North Dakota. Our golden retrievers are hunters and performance dogs, plus they are wonderful family pets. Our offspring are involved in competition with hunt tests and field trials, obedience, rally and agility trials, working as Search and Rescue
professionals, and therapy dogs.
When offering a dog at stud, we adhere closely to health clearances necessary to protect our breed and keep our clearance testing up to date. The pedigrees of our dogs are full of championship performers. Although we do not personally compete in field trials, we find that the importance of winning dogs in our program is simple. For there to be many generations of champions coming from these pedigree lines, it means that the dogs are very trainable, people-oriented and are healthy individuals. There is a difference in trainability in different dogs and our dogs reflect the best traits of working dogs.
Saturday Night Golden Retrievers have great field coats, and are friendly, sane dogs who love people and are ready in an instant to go for a walk, a swim, to go bird hunting or to a competitive obedience event. These same dogs will be found curled up at our feet watching television! They are all-around Golden Retrievers!
Why "Saturday Night"? When Doug was growing up, he was lucky enough to spend his summers training dogs, raising puppies and going to field trials with his uncle. Col. Ed Schnettler was a retired Marine Corps pilot who flew Corsairs in the South Pacific theater during World War II. He was just a little bigger than life! It made sense to us to honor Doug's uncle by naming our kennel after his most famous dog, Saturday Night Ed, a field Irish setter. So now you know! (More about Saturday
Night Ed on the upcoming "Memories" page.)
